Hi Chef! I ran across your website, I think through Pinterest. My wife and I love Indian foods but only at restaurants but your website / YouTube videos gave us the confidence to try cooking our own. Success! We cooked Malai Kofta and the Veg Pulao.

Chef, don't you think that curry leaves sometimes have a similar aroma to green bell pepper?

SubSalac Posted on Sun Jul 14 2013

I spent over 500 already. I blame vahchef. I'm like one of 12 white guys in new york city who has a full stock of urad dal, hing, dried fenugreek leaves, and a billion different masala powders and other specialty ingredients.

lol. Yeah all together I've prolly spent $70-$80 dollars in spices and just bough Hing for the 1st time yesterday. Tasted weird and it said for export ONLY to the US. I dunno, I just had to pick it up out of curiosity. Vahcheff is the man though,
